Aversive learning effect on odor coding in rat's piriform cortex
(2011)
Olfaction, a sense for detecting and discriminating chemical molecules in the environment, is critical for animal survival, reproduction and other adaptive behaviors. The olfactory system is organized in three major stations ...
The Evolution Of Reproductive Isolation In A Temporally Complex Passerine Hybrid Zone
(2014)
Understanding the relative importance of reproductive isolating barriers between populations allows us learn what processes are most prevalent in causing speciation. Hybrid zones, where distinguishable populations interbreed, ...
AN ENHANCER-TRAP AND SPLICE-TRAP SCREEN FOR REGULATORS OF ENDOCRINE FUNCTIONS IN THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM AND THE EPITRACHEAL GLAND OF DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER
(2010)
Peptide hormones play important roles in a wide variety of biological processes, such as learning and memory, body weight homeostasis, circadian rhythms, and addiction. In Drosophila, over 20 peptide hormones are produced ...
Sexual signaling in conflicts and their resolutions in odonates
(2014-12)
Nature abounds with conflicts and searching for the best solution to conflicts is of interest to all animals. Among various means to resolve conflicts, signaling may be superior because it can potentially settle conflicts ...
Hierarchical controls on the impact of consumer stoichiometric regulation: From species traits to ecosystem level consequences
(2013-12)
As natural ecosystems become increasingly changed due to habitat alteration, species loss, introduction of non-native species, and climate change, understanding the functional significance of communities to ecosystem ...
The ecological importance of ant colony size
(2010)
Despite the rich diversity of life, all organisms are unified by the conserved biochemical pathways that drive metabolism and govern the rate at which resources are processed and used to perform biological work. Metabolic ...
The evolution of early tribosphenic mammals
(2011)
The history of paleomammalogy stretches back to the beginning of paleontology as a scientific discipline; though with far less fanfare, early fossil mammals were discovered alongside the iconic dinosaurs that would capture ...
THE CENTRAL PATTERN GENERATORS FOR SWIMMING AND SCRATCHING ARE PARTLY SHARED OR INTERACT AT THE INTERNEURONAL LEVEL IN ADULT TURTLES.
(2014-12)
Distinct rhythmic behaviors involving a common set of motoneurons and muscles can be generated by separate central nervous system networks, a single network, or partly overlapping networks in invertebrates. Less is known ...
The evolution of early tribosphenic mammals
(2011)
The history of paleomammalogy stretches back to the beginning of paleontology as a scientific discipline; though with far less fanfare, early fossil mammals were discovered alongside the iconic dinosaurs that would capture ...
THE ECOLOGY OF AN INVASIVE TOXIGENIC PROTIST
(2013)
Humans have facilitated a spread of nonnative biota across the Earth. As nonnative species, their interactions with native species, their surrounding community, and their environment are novel, and thereby provide unique ...
